Donors, Boards, and the Power Dynamic
This session will explore the power dynamics funders navigate on a regular basis. Whether the power is real or perceived, it may come from various sources – a donor, legacy volunteer or major funder. We will discuss power dynamics, acknowledge realities such as harassment*, explore the dependency quotient and review current research on the topic.
*This session will discuss sexual harassment, which may be triggering for some individuals.
